How we got here, and what we need to do now, by @AmeshAA:
Devastating intro: “the predictable result of years of neglect when the biosecurity budget was less than that for military marching bands”
“It is almost as if we extended hospitality to COVID-19.” How much we screwed this up:
But “prolonged, enforced confinement” is not the solution; same mistake as prolonging an individual patient's lifespan while ignoring quality-of-life.
